My betting form is slowly getting back, woop. Didn't do massive bets (never do), put £4 on Newcastle at 5/4 and £2 on Udinese at 4/1 so a nice £13 profit, always take that Put the money on Udinese due to how they played against us last season along with you not putting your strongest team out.

I've never seen a Liverpool side so comfortable and confident on the ball as the one in the first half. We were brilliant. Then their goal just killed us. Brilliant change at half time to bring an extra attacker on and really disrupted our rhythm and passing from the back. Struggled to get a hold of the game second half and the subs on the hour mark just compounded it. No tactical discipline or shape or anything. Was just like the other nine sat back and hoped the cavalry was gunna do it.

Coates was brilliant though, despite the oggy. Better than Mert has been for Arsenal! Shelvey disappointed me again. Henderson is by far the better player of the two. Ah well good learning curve for the group this is and entertaining football too. Bring on Anzhi!

Oh and the udinese fans were excellent. Wish they brought more.

Final thing; Downing does not deserve a start at all. Mildly impressive by his standards. Still a let down at times.

Pretty much what Gary said. Can't believe we lost that when we were looking so comfortable. Such dominance in every aspect, yet we somehow conceded 3. Shame Coates scored that own goal, he was class again tonight. Downing did alright I thought, but anyone would look good in the side when we play that well and have that sort of possession. 'The' foul on him was absolutely hilarious though, had to watch that a couple of times. Disappointed Borini didn't get a chance despite working so hard and linking up well, he must have been so frustrated. Thought Henderson & Shelvey were good too. And what a *bleep*ing free kick from Suarez.

Gutted to have lost that and slightly baffled, but plenty of positives.

Defensive lapses letting us down yet again. Superb first half. Awful start to the second half and before we recovered we were 3-1 down. Disappointed not to have taken at least something from the game obviously but we're going in the right direction.
